Play It Again Sports is hosting a free disc golf clinic in Milford, Michigan on Saturday, June 25, 2011 at 10:30 am at the Black Locust disc golf course inside Kensington Metropark.

Open to players of all abilities, including newcomers to the game, this clinic will be directed by Discraft sponsored Professional Mark Ellis and will have prizes and games from Play It Again Sports and Discraft.

The clinic will break down into sessions dealing with Long distance power driving (directed my Jamie Mosier, who will demonstrate launching a disc into orbit), forehand shots, putting and basic skills. Please bring golf discs.

From 1-96 expressway, exit at Kent Lake Road directly into the park to the first right, which is the Black Locust disc golf course. There is a park entrance fee of $4.00 per vehicle and a $2.00 fee per player to play the course.

By starting with "Sir". Except if the person is not a star.

Flat shots need running on the center line of the tee and planting each step on the center line. Anhyzer needs running from rear right to front left with the plant step hitting the ground to the left of the line you're running on. Hyzer is the mirror of that.

Side note... did Eirik ever get his bag back?

The faculty is still being recruited. Ben Lengel has a tournament and is out. Eirik is a tentative yes (and he got his whole bag back after it was stolen). Jamie will have a hard time matching last year's performance but is in . I have a couple offers out to very skilled players, so we will see.

Last year's topic was balance, which by happenstance was what cfair's game most needed. By now maybe cfair deserves a spot on the faculty?

I wish. Unless you are looking for someone to teach the virtues of the Comet I'm not much use. I'm not even sure I'll be able to make it out yet. Balance is much better though. What might this years topic be?

3-5$ to get in. 2-3$ if you want to play the courses there. Black Lotus is very nice, but I think the Toboggan is down. Also it is looking more likely that I'll be there. If you are at all serious about me being "in faculty" I could help out beginners. Or I could be play fetcher for Jamie and others at the power driving field (that is if I can get some private instruction from Mr. Mosier). I mean c'mon getting that guy's discs back takes a little time.

And not to exaggerate to much, I don't know how well known Jamie is, but he really can throw so far it is almost confusing.
